Growing an Apple Tree from Seeds

Drying the Seeds:

Collect and clean seeds after eating an apple.

Pat dry and leave to air dry completely.

Germinating the Seeds:

Wrap seeds in a moist paper towel.

Store in a sealed bag in the fridge for 8 weeks.

Planting the Seeds:

Use a pot with neutral pH soil.

Plant seeds with sprouts facing downward, water gently.

Move to a sunny location once leaves appear.

Transplanting the Apple Tree:

Transplant when the sapling is about 10 cm tall.

Ensure the tree gets over 6 hours of sunlight daily.

Use well-draining soil and water every 10-12 days.

Growing Tips:

Grow seeds from two different apple varieties for better fruit production.

Prune only dead or diseased branches.

Apply fertilizer in spring, avoiding mixed fertilizers that kill weeds.

By following these steps, you can grow your own apple tree and enjoy delicious, home-grown apples.
